Blowout underway,

UNC 22, MSU 8 -- Tar Heels can't miss and MSU very sloppy with the ball.

This is over.

It's a repeat from UNC, 98-63 on Dec. 3 in Ford Field.

Yikes!

UNC 36, MSU 16 -- 8 minutes to go first half

Fantastically unappealing matchup.

Terps beat 'em both.

This is just the UNC team that everybody thought was going to win it when the preseason talk started in November.

Very, very impressive. Kind of like the way SMU played against A&M-Corpus Christi.

Tar Heels 55-34 at the half. Just wow for UNC.

Carolina wins 89-72. Best team all year in college basketball. Now, we have to fight the 7-month drought of no college hoops.

I always enjoy the season.

Big 10's best team — by far — got undressed by one of several elite teams in the ACC. Michigan State has the better coach, by a lot, and his guys were still terrified the minute they walked on the floor.

Proud to be the transitive national champs!

Who are the several elite teams again? Duke? Did you happen to see Duke get absolutely used by Nova, or did you miss that one? Wake tanked badly. So who else are you talking about? BC? Miami? Big 10 was down this year no doubt. That league really suffers when Indiana sucks. Crean will have them back eventually though. Illinois has some great recruiting classes coming and will return to the Final Four before long. Purdue is probably a top 10 team next year. And Ohio State was just in the Nat champ game two years ago. Big 10 hoops is fine and has been for years...now football....

The ACC isn't much better than CUSA, I don't know why they get so many bids and such great seedings. I don't know why they have a Big Ten/ACC series when they can have an ACC/CUSA series.
